Interfacility Transfer for Thrombectomy: A Promising Therapeutic Window.
Review in Stroke, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Currently, most acute ischemic stroke patients presenting with a large vessel occlusion are first evaluated at a nonthrombectomy-capable center before transfer to a comprehensive stroke center that performs thrombectomy. Interfacility transfer is a complex process that requires extensive coordination between the referring, transporting, and receiving facilities. As a result, long delays are common, contributing to poor clinical outcomes. In this review, we summarize the accumulating literature about the clinical as well as radiological-infarct growth, collateral change, arterial recanalization, and hemorrhagic transformation-changes during interfacility transfer for thrombectomy. Recent evidence shows that clinical/radiological changes during transfer are heterogeneous across patients and impact long-term functional outcomes, highlighting the urgent need to optimize care during this time window. We review some of the most promising therapeutic strategies-for example, penumbral protection to reduce infarct growth-that may improve clinical outcome in patients being transferred to thrombectomy-capable centers. Finally, we discuss key methodological considerations for designing clinical trials aimed at reducing infarct growth during transfer.
